Aboriginal Australian's land and water management, and a community coming together to help

By John Standish

Bruce Pascoe provides evidence which might make you change your mind about Indigenous Australians being hunter-gatherers. And Flash Viola and his 4x4 club are assisting the family of a young boy who is losing his sight.

Jon Faine's co-host is playwright, author, singer songwriter, and filmmaker, Richard Frankland. He is Head of Curriculum and Programs at the Wilin Centre for Indigenous Arts and Cultural Development in the Faculty of VCA and MCM at the University of Melbourne.

Their first guest is author Bruce Pascoe, who recently won Book of the Year and the inaugural Indigenous Writer's Prize (joint winner) at this year's NSW Premier's Literary Awards for Dark Emu (Magabala Books). His most recent book is Mrs Whitlam (Magabala Books).

Then they are joined by Matt 'Flash' Viola and Kyleen 'Cookie' Cepanec. Flash is the president of the Section 8 4x4 Club which is raising funds to help Cookie's son Sabre, who is going blind.
